Bose X on jets?

Hi guys,

I ran a search on the Bose X aviation headset - there's quite a bit on Proon from the GA crowd and I've had a good read.

It's a pretty obscene amount of money to spend on a headset but I can just about stomach it as an investment if it's as good as some say it is.

Can any commercial flyers who use the X post any feedback? I fly a Boeing and currently use a company provided Sennheiser HMEC 46 with NoiseGard (ANR). The ANR seems to change the type of background sound rather than the overall volume and it can get uncomfy after a few hours. Works OK though.

Very subjective I know but - do you think the Bose X is worth £700 (with the pound's relative weakness against the dollar the saving when buying in the US seems to be only a few tens of pounds)?

I hope to occasionally fly GA a/c as well so it would save me having two headsets too.

Cheers,

B&S
